Execution
Jade Wyrm and Long Keshuang groaned and screamed harrowingly as the poison tormented every inch of their body. The fiends who could hear their screams wondered who was crying.
Jade Wyrm devoted himself to a last-ditch attempt to take down Mu Yu, firing numerous spears at Mu Yu. Mu Yu cast a formation and successfully caught the spears thanks to Jade Wyrm’s weakened state. Mu Yu subsequently erased the fiend energy on the spears, replacing it with his own qi.
“You can have them back.”
Mu Yu shot the now green spears back, making sure to leave Jade Wyrm with nowhere to escape to. Jade Wyrm reverted to his human form, hoping to dodge the attacks with his lost ounce of usable spiritual energy. Mu Yu merged the spears together, accelerating them again. Jade Wyrm had no means of switching directions owing to his momentum as the spear’s velocity picked up. As a consequence, he felt a winding strike to his chest and then experienced the sensation of being drilled through three mountains.
As the spear finished its run, it settled in the ground, suspending Jade Wyrm’s body in mid-air. As his blood coursed down the spear to the ground, his soul left his body.
The fact that Long Keshuang couldn’t even imagine herself rescuing Jade Wyrm from Mu Yu’s attack in time shook her to the point that she was stuttering, “Y-you killed Jade Wyrm? Y-you will never leave our territory with your life.”
“I did kill Jade Wyrm… You’re next.” Mu Yu launched a squall of sword qi.
“Wretched human, you will pay for making a fool of me!” Long Keshuang assumed her dragon python form, not to fight but to skedaddle.
“I’m not taking the risk of letting a vengeful enemy escape.”
“No, don’t kill me. I’ll stop. I’ll obey you,” quavered Long Keshuang, realising she couldn’t outrun Mu Yu’s attack.
“Don’t ever forget how you feel now.”
With her last straw gone, Long Keshuang blustered, “Mu Yu, I’ll take you down with me!”
“You wish I’ll just wait for you to self-destruct.”
Sensing Long Keshuang drawing all of her fiend energy and spiritual qi around into herself to take everything within five hundred square kilometres with her, Mu Yu hacked into her and pumped her nerves with blades, deflating her body.
Biting the dust, literally, Long Keshuang threatened, “Our ancestors will avenge us. We are the pillars holding up the fiend race. They will sm-”
Mu Yu emotionlessly brought down his sword on Long Keshuang’s neck, absorbing her soul as it escaped. “Pillars of the fiend race trying to wipe out the fiend race. If it wasn’t your turn to die, I wouldn’t have been able to kill you.”
Mu Yu set his sights on the dark sky that started to perturb him. Whether it was to himself or someone, he mumbled, “Two down, two to go.”
Mu Yu collected Jade Wyrm’s head, as well, and headed back to Sunshine Valley.
